*Official* England in the West Indies 2024

Windies sharp in the field have to say.

OG Robinson might have been a better option too.

Alzarri Joseph is such an underachiever , everything you need for a fast bowler, height , smooth action , pace , doesn't get injured easily..

The delivery to get rid of Cox was about 92mph, serious wheels

Seems to lack the ability to set batsmen up in tests and doesn't get much movement.

I was hoping that Bethell would play instead of Cox in NZ but Bethell has gone now.

Bethell has zero FC record to speak of, he shouldn't be anywhere near the test team.

Or James Rew...

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

OG Robinson might have been a better option too.

Might aswell give struggling Pope the gloves and bat Stokes at no.3 with maybe Woakes or Rehan Ahmed coming in at 7

Evening all, how's it looking?

Shepherd's first game of the series and he's making an impact

Spiffing day so far....

Would he even be bowling if Alzarri hadn’t chucked a strop.

This could be a very quick game.

 

[FBU]

10 overs 24/4

Absolutley, no. He'd still have an over or two in the powerplay though.

Turns out it's not going any better in Bruges right now.

Was thinking of your comment when I saw that!!

Pitch already looks easier. What is it with here and North Sound that causes it? The stats don’t lie.

Does anyone have footage of Alzari just walking off from the ground and going to the dressing room?

Yes, the initial moisture is gone, the sun is baking the surface. Just need a good partnership for Overton to go gung Ho at the death

I would say the difference in the pitches here and in Antigua is the wind factor.

No, it’s ugly. I don’t recommend watching it.

Wasn’t really much to see. He finished his over and walked off instead of heading to his fielding position. It caught the skipper out who was left with only 10 fielders for that over.

It seemed like it was all to do with fielding positions.

Damn Scrappy Doo, you were batting so well
